Passport 4 IndependenceThe Passport 4 Independence, P4I, is a learning experience for young

people. P4I consists of a series of Visas addressing the knowledge, skills,

behaviours and attitudes that lead to living a successful and independent

life. You do not have to achieve all Visas only those that will be helpful.

Some topics appear in more than one Visa!

Before you start this topic you will have completed ‘My Visa Action Plan’

and will have identified that the ‘My Tenancy’ topic would be helpful to

enable you to move forward towards independence. This topic may be

one of a number that you have identified and each topic has its own

assessment workbook.

You will work with your tutor/assessor, either on a one-to-one basis or in

a group, to increase your knowledge and skills around ‘My Tenancy’. You

will record your learning time on page 4 and evidence your learning

against the specific criteria by completing the assessments throughout

the workbook.

You should make sure that you let your tutor/assessor know if you need

some help with getting your answers down.

You may also be planning to cover

other topics, either alongside each

other, or one at a time. When you

have completed your chosen topics

you should revisit your ‘Action Plan’

to review your progress and scale

your new knowledge and skills.

Watch your confidence in your

abilities grow and grow!!

Appeals and Complaints

Procedure for Learners

Learners who wish to appeal against or complain about any result must first go

through the SCC CYP Engagement Hub Appeals / Complaints Procedure. Gateway

Qualifications will only process an appeal once this procedure has been exhausted.

In the event of a dispute between the course tutor/assessor and a candidate

concerning the results of assessments, every attempt will be made to sort out the

dispute between the trainer and the candidate in the first instance.

The tutor will give the candidate a full explanation of the reasons for the decision and

advise the candidate of how they can meet the performance criteria.

If the candidate is still not satisfied the tutor should inform the Quality Assurance

Officer. The Quality Assurance Officer should meet with the candidate and the tutor

to try to resolve the situation. The outcome of this meeting should be recorded.

If there is still no satisfactory outcome, the Quality Assurance Officer will advise the

Gateway Qualifications External Quality Assurer who investigate further.

Timescales can be found in the full policy which is available on request.

It is the responsibility of the Quality Officer to keep a record of all appeals.
